Open Source Management Roles and Escalation Paths

A CODE understands how to integrate open source usage and consumption into their software development tasks, following company’s policies and as requested by their managers in an enterprise context. They also understand the role of teams within the organization in charge of open source management (OSPOs) and how to interact with them when dealing with open source issues.
About the CODE certification
Once you pass the exam, be sure to add your new badge to your LinkedIn, LFX, GitHub & other profiles to help you better connect with the open source community and distinguish yourself as certified for prospective employers.


CODE was created with expert input from open source and OSPO experts from the Linux Foundation, OSI, the TODO Group, and FINOS communities.
